Today is Rhodi Day! It has been 8 years since our little Baby Girl, Rhodi was born too soon. For those of you who do not know, Rhodi Bloom was created to honour her memory. 🥰
Every year is a new feeling. This year I feel ok. Not healed by any means, not sure I ever will be but feeling strong. I feel I am hopefully making our little Angel proud everyday!
For the first year, we have spoken to our eldest about Rhodi. Nothing too serious, he is only 6 but he knows that we, as a family, have an incredibly special Angel called Rhodi, who looks out for us all every day and keeps us all safe & well!
We planted a very tiny Rose in our garden on the first anniversary of Rhodi Day. 8 years later this Rose has taken over our back wall with the most incredible Blooms we have ever seen! This Rose Blooms on her anniversary every single year. This keeps me smiling as I drink my morning tea around this time of year. 🥰
This morning I went for a beautiful walk and this plaque (pictured) caught my eye with the most meaningful words for the day that it is! I walk this path all the time and never noticed this before. 🫶🏻
I think about 28th May 2017 a lot. The hardest day of my life. I use this day as a benchmark for hard things yet to come. I say to myself, well would I rather be doing this or be back on 28th May 2017. It strengthens me, makes me think if I can get through that I can get through anything!! Sometimes you don’t know your strength until you have to.
And here I am, meeting Pregnant and Postpartum Parents and teaching classes to bring strength and empower through their journeys too & Creating wellness boxes to support others in hard times with items that have helped me & still help me everyday! 💪🏻
I hope to do more for Pregnancy Loss in the future. More fundraising. More spreading awareness. More helping others through this awful time. With my little men keeping me busy, I need to take time for them now too! It will all come into place one day!
For now, 8 years of knowing my little Angel. You are incredibly inspiring. Thank you for choosing me as your Mama. Your Daddy & Little Brothers Love you so much! Say hi to Mum for me. ###
